摘要：
Physiognomy is the judging of an individual's character from their facial appearance. This practice exists in many cultural groups and notably among Chinese groups.There are a number of aspects about teeth that are used in physiognomy. This study explored whether young Chinese adults in Hong Kong 'heard about' and 'believed in' dental aspects of physiognomy.This paper raises an awareness of traditional health beliefs and ideologies that are of interest to all those delivering care in multicultural environments.
